Royal Enfield will bring its street culture platform HunterHood to Shillong on February 7, 2026, marking the festival’s debut in the Northeast after successful editions in Chennai, Delhi and Mumbai. Built around the spirit of the Hunter 350 motorcycle, the event aims to celebrate urban expression through music, art, sport and community-led creativity. The one-day festival will feature BMX and skateboarding showcases, street football, slam dunk zones and interactive challenges, alongside custom motorcycles by JD Customs.
Skate showcases curated by the Shillong Skate Mag community and live graffiti by the Mixed Media Art Crew and Art of Motorcycling 2024 winner Amit Kumar will add visual depth. Indigenous dance forms led by the Shlem Institute of Music will share space with hip-hop cyphers anchored by local dancer Iamon Kharjana. Works by Gauhati Art Project founder Abhishek Choudhury and interactive installations by Sameer Hazari and St+art India are also part of the lineup.
Music performances include hometown artist Reble, Grammy-nominated rapper Raja Kumari, Nagaland-based indie-pop band Trance Effect, and sets by DJ Knack, Smokey, SawaJam Sound System and Gauley Bhai. A flea market and curated food experiences will showcase talent from across the Northeast.
